About Matthew J Brozovic
Beginning in 1989, Matthew Brozovic has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry. His career at Morgan Stanley began in September of 1989 when he joined the training program at then Shearson Lehman Hutton. Through many mergers over the years, the firm began what it is known today as Morgan Stanley. However, his interest in the industry began long before that. Matt began investing in the stock market when he was 10 years old. He would take his paper route earnings and visit his parents’ advisor. After listening to his suggestions, he got invested into the market and has been hooked ever since. He even used his earnings to pay for his first year of college.
He is a firm believer that if you want to accomplish any goal in life, you need to have a plan. It is because of this that financial planning is at the core of his practice. It allows his clients to know if they are on track to reach their financial objectives at any given point in time. Since the road to success is always under construction, he works with his clients to adjust their plan as circumstances change. His ultimate goal for all his clients is to help them sleep at night knowing their financial lives are in order. He truly enjoys helping people achieve this peace of mind.
Matt graduated from Purdue University where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Financial Advising. He had since earned his MBA from Keller Graduate School. Matt currently serves on the Chi Chapter of Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation.
Outside of work, Matt enjoys golfing and spending time with family and close friends. He has a passion for baseball and college football. Matt enjoys visiting the various college stadiums throughout the country. He has been married to wife Diane for 35 years. Together they have raised three adult children: Matthew, Taylor, and Michael. Both he and Diane are adjusting to being new empty nesters.
